+ | * Oh my, moving the whole buildbot folder onto the RAM disk was a bad idea actually. We were repeatedly surprised after restarts that our script changes were missing (changed them on the RAM disk and forgot to copy them back to the hard disk), this time the uploadiso script was reverted, leading to corrupted ISO files on the download server. I moved the folder back on the hard disk for the sake of stability; obj, output and now ccache remain on the RAM disk. ccache is now installed on the debug server too, reducing the build time from ~5 minutes to ~2 minutes. | ||

The Buildslave Osnabrück compiles ReactOS debug builds. Contrary to the name, it is now actually located in Braunschweig (hosted by the company I'm working for, IServ)... I should consider to rename it :)
Current Status
Running as Buildslave Lammhult.

History
- May 2008: Relocation to Braunschweig, Germany; now using a 100 MBit Internet connection.
- May 2007: We finally got a replacement mainboard from Alternate, not the one we sent in, but a very similar one, so the server is now back up. The object files are now placed on a RAID0 with three disks, improviving the build time from ~15 to ~10 minutes.
- March 2007: As long as the new server doesn't work, the old server is back online.
- February 2007: Martin comes up with the idea to put plenty new SATA hard disks into the server, but the old mainboard has no SATA support, so the whole server needs to be replaced. The ReactOS team decides to co-fund the upgrade and instead of consumer level hardware, a full-blown Xeon QuadCore server is bought. Due to problems with the online shop, it took a few weeks to get the new server up and running – only to find out that the mainboard sometimes simply won't boot and has to be sent back for replacement.
- Long ago: Christoph installs the buildbot on Martin's private server, then an old AMD 800 MHz with 512 MB RAM. The RAM is later upgraded to 1024 MB, the CPU is replaced with a Sempron 2500+.
